The Coolest Place On The Planet | Inishowen Visitor Guide 2017

2017 has started on a high here in County Donegal with National Geographic Traveller magazine stating Donegal is the top spot on their Cool List that reveals the culture capitals, hipster hotspots, wild escapes and places generally keeping it cool in 2017. Being voted “Coolest place to visit on the planet” couldn’t be a better reason to choose Inishowen for that much needed break away.

Inishowen ~ The Starting Point For The Wild Atlantic Way

Inishowen has 10 Wild Atlantic Way Discovery points with Malin Head hosting the 1st Signature Point on the WAW. Inishowen oozes with breathtaking scenery around every bend, Blue Flag beaches and offshore islands; the geographical location could be described as “the jewel in the crown of Ireland”. You can pick up your printed copy of the Visitor Guide at our offices in Buncrana or Carndonagh. It is a land that feels undiscovered and a gem of a place to start a journey of a lifetime. This is an area of Ireland also expecting 2017 to be a big year; scenes for Star Wars: Episode VIII ‘The Last Jedi’ were filmed on the Inishowen Peninsula during 2016 and are due to be released on the big screen in December 2017.

But that’s not all there’s an array of reasons to visit, and if you’re lucky enough to experience our famous Northern Lights that illuminate the skies with fantastic shades of colour, then you are truly in for a treat. You’ll notice the cover photo of the printed Guide was provided by Brendan Diver of Photos From Ireland.There’s no better place to meet and stay a while and share a story or two.

The Visitor Guide for 2017 is now also available for Trade Members to collect at both the Buncrana Tourist Office & the Carndonagh Tourist Office.
